Proverbs 21:21-26

²¹He that followeth rightfulness and mercy, shall find life, and rightwiseness, and glory.

²²A wise man ascended into the city of (the) strong men, and destroyed the strength of the trust thereof.

²³He that keepeth his mouth and his tongue (under control), keepeth his soul from anguishes.

²⁴A proud man and (a) boaster is called a fool, (for) that (he) worketh (his) pride in ire.

²⁵Desires slay a slow man; for his hands would not (do) work (of) anything. (Desires shall slay a lazy person; for his hands shall not do any work.)

²⁶All day he coveteth and desireth; but he that is a just man, shall give, and shall not cease. (All day long he wanteth, and longeth for; but he who is righteous, shall give, and shall never cease to give.)
